Seed oils are toxic. Carbs are the enemy. Your newborn doesn’t need the vitamin K shot. Wellness culture is full of confident claims, and many of them are selling something. This week, Dr. Whitney sits down with Katy Harvey, the “non-diet dietitian,” intuitive eating coach, and host of Rebuilding Trust with Your Body, to sort the legit from the woo.

Katy breaks down the “Wellness Woo” segment from her own podcast, where listeners send in the latest diet trend or supplement claim and she checks it against the evidence. Dr. Whitney shares why she’s tired of hearing that pediatricians are in it for the money, and why doctors who used to get pushback for being on social media now need to be there.
